I'm baffled at how much you single-highhandedly made in just 2 days — game feel, sfx, nice funky graphics. It's so polished too, I really liked the entry, specially the graphics and the music — would love to know abt the samples you used. I'm impressed!
@satless thanks a lot for your heartwarming comment ! I used some free Kontakt instruments from their "Komplete Start" bundle (mostly Analog Dreams) and chiptune VSTs (magical8bitplug).
Congratulations your entry is awesome ! The only constructive feedback I can think of is the clic to move feels unresponsive at times. Your game is really good on every metrics.
@arscene thank you for this comment ! I know I could have included keyboard movement too, although I really wanted the game to be playable on mobile as well as on desktop.
Man, you should rate the other projects, it will make your game more visible on the website, this is how the Ludum works. And you're game is just awesome. I mean I can't find much defect to it. It's beautful, easy to learn, fun, accessible (only mouse), polished, AND the audio is not annoying. Dude, your project is one of the best I've seen so far, and it's not visible. It's a shame, make the people come and play it ! The only few things that could have been better is the reactivity of the move after you clicked, and the fact that I WANT MORE LEVELS !!!
Congratulations dude, excellent game.
Oh also... THE FEVER MODE is just great. And that's nice that you don't tell anything about it (if I remember well ^^), because I got positively surprised haha
@dashvirus wow your comment is so nice, I'm so glad you loved so much aspects of the game ! I didn't have the time to play games right after the compo, but I'll be sure to rate and comment some this weekend.
This game was SLICK. Great controls, VFX, and sound design. Lots of moments that made me go "oh that was awesome." Definitely gonna be going back for those S ranks! Very solid compo entry all around.
The gameplay loop is simple but addictive, and I appreciate the effort that went into the design. It’s got a nice balance between challenge and enjoyment. Well done!
Pretty fun game! The graphics and sound are very nice too. Good job!
@decadedecaf @kutase @tete thanks for your motivating comments !
This is a really fun and well polished game. It demonstrates an excellent understanding of scope for a solo dev. I like the deliberate clicks for movement as it incentivizes better positioning. One thing I would recommend is having the shoot button be right click or something else. I found myself shooting accidentally while moving. Also, it doesn't feel like a tiny creatures game.
@sutt00 Thanks ! I didn't think about right click as I wanted to make the game mobile first, but you're right (as weel as the keyboard movement mentioned earlier). What do you think would make the game a better fit for the theme ?
@zoglu A sense of scale works well since I don't immediately relate these designs to tiny creatures. Maybe if the levels were taking place on a object that conveys that? Not sure tbh, it's a difficult problem to solve. Could also be the crates that make it feel off since I think of crates as larger objects.
@sutt00 Yeah, actually by the end of Saturday I had ideas for mechanics where the creatures could grow together into bigger ones and the game would take place on a larger scale, but it was outside of the scope for this jam. Maybe I could have got this ideas earlier and plan the dev around them !
Really great entry and complete package!
Super satisfying use of sound particularly with the shot bounces and end of level ranking.
Love to see an actual fleshed out scoring system as well.
Sometimes it was a little unclear what was happening, e.g. when enemies were hitting your non-fired critters, just a lot of sounds and stuff firing off at once.
Awesome job!
Great game! The audio and visual feedback for every action is excellent, and the concept is quite amusing.
I played using a mouse, and while I enjoyed the experience, I found that managing multiple actions with just the mouse—like moving by clicking while also needing to click to attack—felt a bit challenging. However, this could just be a personal preference.
Really nice game, only complaint I would have that the movement feels a little bit stiff, maybe being able to make multiple points to move to ahead of time would be nice
Veeeery nice!!! The idea is great and the effects are very polished!
As has been mentioned, having the "Shoot" and "Move" with the same input made it a bit hard sometimes. But that'd be my only nitpick.
Keep up the awesome work! <3
I need this game on my iPhone, like immediately. Almost feels like a Bullet Hell...with friends?
Ouah, i really enjoying it, fun at second one. Congratulations
Very cool, everything fits together nicely, I liked the controls, look, sfx and music. Gameplay was fun. Great entry!
So many nice comments, thank you so much everyone !
@samuel-fine on Chrome on Android, you can install the game on home screen when you navigate to its URL. Maybe it also works on iPhone too ?
Fun game. The gameplay is good balanced. Pikmin was also on our list of possible inspirations :)
Compo; you have my respect.
The game looks and feels rather polished. What didnt suit me is the aiming direction... but that's due to mouse input rather than touch (therefore understandable).
@xparker you can change the aiming direction in the main menu :)
Great music and gameplay, felt really polished. Could see this easily grown into a fun fullsize game great job!
This was a lot of fun to play! The graphics and music were really impressive, and overall it’s a very solid entry. I think I would have preferred using the keyboard for movement and the mouse for aiming, rather than having two actions on the mouse. However, I can see how this control scheme would work well for touch. Great job!
@zoglu ohh.. I didnt notice, thanks for the input. I'll check it out again :sweat_smile:
Edit: Wwayy better on PC :laughing:
Such a well made highly polished little game. The art style, the music, the mechanics. I especially liked the uniqueness of ammo being your new found friends :smile:
This game was a lot of fun. The music was catchy, cool art style, and landing crazy combos was satisfying!
Artstyle and music are so much great! A little bit strange (for me) that u need to click for moving. I always tryed to move with holding mouse button)
Very interesting and it have some challenge. Hard to read texts on level 1 because need to understand, whats happening and mines are to strong, i think. But if u continue it can be very fun mobile game.
This is straight up 5/5! I absolutely love how polished this game is, you did a fantastic job! The art is so good, all the animations, visual effects, feedbacks, etc. The music and the sound effects are extremely well done. Your attention to details is visible and it pays! I'd love to read a postmortem on your game, what were your ideas, your workflow, what worked and what didn't and in the end how you achieved so much in so little time!
Wow this was fun, nice polish and good play loop. The only issue I had was the music stopped playing after level one. Really nice job on a complete and fun game.
@everyone thank you for your comments !
@f1tzy it's a bug that occurs on Firefox, maybe switch to Chrome for this game ? (btw I'm a Firefox user too)
@crocidb noted, I may write this in the future. I generally manage my time the same way in every jam.
That is a really nice game with a quite new way of gameplay! Nice game, nice graphics, nice sound, nice everything!
